leaner look that when combined with the SportRoof body style was a
powerful looking design, which was the only way you could get the
iconic Mach 1. The 1971 Mach 1 Mustang included many special
features over the base Mustang. It used a different grille/bumper
combination than the base Mustang which featured a honeycomb grille
that housed a pair of driving lamps. The front bumper was covered
with urethane that was color-keyed along with the fender moldings
to the Mustang's paint. The non-functional NASA hood was standard
equipment and was painted along with the lower body in either black
or argent, depending on body paint. All Mach1s came with color
matched dual racing mirrors and were adorned with a front fender
Mach 1 decals and a small Mach 1 callout on the rear deck just
above the pop-open gas cap. The combination was a winner with
Mustang fans and remains one of the most visually stunning of the
Mustangs that looks fast just sitting still. The Mustang featured
here just exudes Ford Performance, painted in FOMOCO colors with
metallic blue and argent. The brilliant paint is well applied over
professional body work and pops with a deep gloss. The factory
front chin spoiler and rear deck spoiler only further enhance the
bold styling of the Mach 1. The American Racing AR23 5-spoke
aluminum wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra raised white letter radial
tires are subtle upgrade that further enhances the performance
stance of this Mach 1. The underbody of the car has been lightly
undercoated and is rust free and the rear floors have been
replaced. The chassis is otherwise unrestored but appears well
maintained and features a new gas tank. Inside the black interior
has been cosmetically restored with new seat upholstery, carpet and
headliner. Some great subtle Day 2 upgrades include the B&M
shifter, AutoMeter gauges, Sanyo AM/FM/Cassette Tape player and
dual rear speakers. The dash is factory equipped with a tachometer
and 120 MPH speedometer. Under the hood sits the 351 V8 that has
been upgraded with an Edelbrock aluminum intake, Holley carburetor,
Mallory ignition and an electric fan helps keep this set up running
cool. Ford Performance Racing chrome valve covers, oil pan and open
element air cleaner bring a little shine to the nicely detailed
engine compartment that is ready to display at the local car show
or cruise in. The engine rumbles deeply through headers into 2.5
dual exhaust into chamber style mufflers into chrome tipped
tailpipes. This will make a great car to show and cruise the
boulevards of your hometown. This Mustang Mach 1 is just another
great example of the many Mustangs we have in the corral here at
Garage Kept Motors. Please call if you are interested in the
